AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Create a coordinate plane and draw two quadratic curves: one opening upward and one opening downward. Indicate the vertices and axes of symmetry for each parabola, and shade the region between them to represent the solution set of the inequality. Mark the x‑intercepts of both curves, connect two points on the x‑axis with a line segment, and extend a ray to the left from the left point and a ray to the right from the right point. Include additional points that define the other parabolas, and label the curves to show their relationships.
